Marti

Registered Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in Fort Worth and currently live in Arlington, TX. I have been married to my husband, Kyle, for more than 12 years, and I have an adult daughter who will be graduating from Notre Dame this year. I also have a son who attends Kennedale High School. My family is super important to me, and I strive to see them as much as I can.

I chose dentistry because I’ve always been obsessed with pretty teeth. So, when my orthodontist asked me to come work for him, I knew this was the profession for me!

I take delight in building trustworthy relationships with my patients. This allows me to make patients feel comfortable and help them put their fears to rest.

Interesting Fact:

My favorite quote is, “Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day!”

Registered Dental Hygienist

I graduated from TCC with an Applied Science in Dental Hygiene degree in 1991. I have been practicing dental hygiene for more than 28 years.

I’m close with my family and friends, especially my identical twin daughters – who are both in the health field.

I have loved dentistry since I was a little girl. I believe God chose dental hygiene for me because I was lucky enough to be accepted into the Applied Science in Dental Hygiene Program (one of the toughest programs for acceptance).

I really enjoy how dentistry is always changing and that I get to help people and be a part of their journey in life.

The best part of my job is the people I treat. I love seeing my patients and helping them receive the best dental care possible. I also love my dental family. We all band together to provide the best treatment and maintenance for our patients in a warm, loving environment.

Interesting Fact:

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love getting together for cookouts and playing games. God has blessed me with great people to enjoy my life with. Oh, I also love getting pedicures!

Registered Dental Hygienist

I was born in Arizona but spent most of my childhood in Oklahoma. I played soccer in high school and then moved to Texas to go to college.

I moved to Fort Worth after college, where I met my husband, and we have twins.

I always knew I would never enjoy sitting at a desk for work. I have always loved the health field and loved being around people.

My grandfather was a dentist, and I thought dental hygiene would give me both the opportunity to have a career in the health field and also the flexibility to be the mom I wanted to be for my kids. So I got my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2000, and I still enjoy my job today!

The best part of my job is getting to see my patients and hear how they are doing! I also enjoy the staff at our office! They are more than just co-workers – they are friends. It is a group that will always help each other out and takes care of the office as a team.

Interesting Fact:

Outside the office, I enjoy playing tennis, doing photography, and love to volunteer for things I feel passionate about.

Registered Dental Assistant

I grew up in Dallas and then moved to Mansfield with my husband, Jason, and two daughters, Jordan and Jadyn.

I was first drawn to dentistry because of the impact it can have, not only on your smile, but also on your overall self-confidence. My goal as a dental assistant has always been to be compassionate to each patient’s needs while making them feel comfortable during each visit.

Interesting Fact:

My mom is my hero. She is the most selfless person I know. The world would be a better place if there were more people like her in it.

Registered Dental Assistant

I was born and raised in Abilene, TX. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Jeremy; together we have two boys, Preston and Parker. Together, we love going to the park and the zoo.

I chose dentistry because I never went to the dentist regularly as a child, and really didn’t have any passion about oral health until high school. Because of this, I love to educate people about dentistry and help them be as healthy as possible.

Along with educating, I love talking to and connecting with my patients. This way I can help them find the confidence to smile!

Interesting Fact:

I had perfect attendance from kindergarten to 8th grade.

What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is watching a patient benefit from dentistry and overcome any fears or concerns they may have at first. Our office does a great job at making our patients feel comfortable and I love that I get to play a part in that.

What aspect of your personality adds the most value to the office?
The aspect of my personality that adds the most value to our office is my attention to detail. I try my best to identify and address any loop holes insurance may throw at us in order the ensure our patients have the best experience when visiting our office.
